The function zdb_read_block (zdb -R) was always intended to have a :c
flag which would read the DVA and length supplied by the user, and
display the checksum. Since we don't know which checksum goes with
the data, we should calculate and display them all.
For each checksum in the table, read in the data at the supplied
DVA:length, calculate the checksum, and display it. Update the man
page and create a zfs test for the new feature.

= Motivation
At Delphix we've seen a lot of customer systems where fragmentation
is over 75% and random writes take a performance hit because a lot
of time is spend on I/Os that update on-disk space accounting metadata.
Specifically, we seen cases where 20% to 40% of sync time is spend
after sync pass 1 and ~30% of the I/Os on the system is spent updating
spacemaps.
The problem is that these pools have existed long enough that we've
touched almost every metaslab at least once, and random writes
scatter frees across all metaslabs every TXG, thus appending to
their spacemaps and resulting in many I/Os. To give an example,
assuming that every VDEV has 200 metaslabs and our writes fit within
a single spacemap block (generally 4K) we have 200 I/Os. Then if we
assume 2 levels of indirection, we need 400 additional I/Os and
since we are talking about metadata for which we keep 2 extra copies
for redundancy we need to triple that number, leading to a total of
1800 I/Os per VDEV every TXG.
We could try and decrease the number of metaslabs so we have less
I/Os per TXG but then each metaslab would cover a wider range on
disk and thus would take more time to be loaded in memory from disk.
In addition, after it's loaded, it's range tree would consume more
memory.
Another idea would be to just increase the spacemap block size
which would allow us to fit more entries within an I/O block
resulting in fewer I/Os per metaslab and a speedup in loading time.
The problem is still that we don't deal with the number of I/Os
going up as the number of metaslabs is increasing and the fact
is that we generally write a lot to a few metaslabs and a little
to the rest of them. Thus, just increasing the block size would
actually waste bandwidth because we won't be utilizing our bigger
block size.
= About this patch
This patch introduces the Log Spacemap project which provides the
solution to the above problem while taking into account all the
aforementioned tradeoffs. The details on how it achieves that can
be found in the references sections below and in the code (see
Big Theory Statement in spa_log_spacemap.c).
Even though the change is fairly constraint within the metaslab
and lower-level SPA codepaths, there is a side-change that is
user-facing. The change is that VDEV IDs from VDEV holes will no
longer be reused. To give some background and reasoning for this,
when a log device is removed and its VDEV structure was replaced
with a hole (or was compacted; if at the end of the vdev array),
its vdev_id could be reused by devices added after that. Now
with the pool-wide space maps recording the vdev ID, this behavior
can cause problems (e.g. is this entry referring to a segment in
the new vdev or the removed log?). Thus, to simplify things the
ID reuse behavior is gone and now vdev IDs for top-level vdevs
are truly unique within a pool.
= Testing
The illumos implementation of this feature has been used internally
for a year and has been in production for ~6 months. For this patch
specifically there don't seem to be any regressions introduced to
ZTS and I have been running zloop for a week without any related
problems.
= Performance Analysis (Linux Specific)
All performance results and analysis for illumos can be found in
the links of the references. Redoing the same experiments in Linux
gave similar results. Below are the specifics of the Linux run.
After the pool reached stable state the percentage of the time
spent in pass 1 per TXG was 64% on average for the stock bits
while the log spacemap bits stayed at 95% during the experiment
(graph: sdimitro.github.io/img/linux-lsm/PercOfSyncInPassOne.png).
Sync times per TXG were 37.6 seconds on average for the stock
bits and 22.7 seconds for the log spacemap bits (related graph:
sdimitro.github.io/img/linux-lsm/SyncTimePerTXG.png). As a result
the log spacemap bits were able to push more TXGs, which is also
the reason why all graphs quantified per TXG have more entries for
the log spacemap bits.
Another interesting aspect in terms of txg syncs is that the stock
bits had 22% of their TXGs reach sync pass 7, 55% reach sync pass 8,
and 20% reach 9. The log space map bits reached sync pass 4 in 79%
of their TXGs, sync pass 7 in 19%, and sync pass 8 at 1%. This
emphasizes the fact that not only we spend less time on metadata
but we also iterate less times to convergence in spa_sync() dirtying
objects.
[related graphs:
stock- sdimitro.github.io/img/linux-lsm/NumberOfPassesPerTXGStock.png
lsm- sdimitro.github.io/img/linux-lsm/NumberOfPassesPerTXGLSM.png]
Finally, the improvement in IOPs that the userland gains from the
change is approximately 40%. There is a consistent win in IOPS as
you can see from the graphs below but the absolute amount of
improvement that the log spacemap gives varies within each minute
interval.

Currently the point of -L option in zdb is to disable leak
tracing and the loading of space maps because they are expensive,
yet still do leak detection in terms of space. Unfortunately,
there is a scenario where this is a lie. If we are using zdb -L
on a pool where a vdev is being removed, zdb_claim_removing()
will open the metaslab space maps of that device.
This patch makes it so zdb -L skips leak detection altogether
and ensures that no space maps are loaded.

Increase the default allowed number of reconstruction attempts.
There's not an exact right number for this setting. It needs
to be set large enough to cover any realistic failure scenarios
and small enough to avoid stalling the IO pipeline and invoking
the dead man detection.
The current value of 256 was empirically determined to be too
low based on multi-day runs of ztest. The fault injection code
would inject more damage than could be reconstructed given the
relatively small number of attempts. However, in all observed
cases the block could be reconstructed using a slightly higher
limit.
Based on local testing increasing the default value to 4096 was
determined to strike the best balance. Checking all combinations
takes less than 10s in the worst case, and has so far eliminated
the vast majority of false positives detected by ztest. This
delay is roughly on par with how long retries may be performed
to a misbehaving HDD and was deemed to be reasonable. Better to
err on the side of a brief delay rather than fail to reconstruct
the data.
Lastly, the -Y flag has been added to zdb to make it easy to try all
possible combinations when performing split block reconstruction.
For badly damaged blocks with 18 splits, they can be fully enumerated
within a few minutes. This has been done to ensure permanent errors
are never incorrectly reported when ztest verifies the pool with zdb.

Details about the motivation of this feature and its usage can
be found in this blogpost:
https://sdimitro.github.io/post/zpool-checkpoint/
A lightning talk of this feature can be found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPQA8K40jAM
Implementation details can be found in big block comment of
spa_checkpoint.c
Side-changes that are relevant to this commit but not explained
elsewhere:
* renames members of "struct metaslab trees to be shorter without
losing meaning
* space_map_{alloc,truncate}() accept a block size as a
parameter. The reason is that in the current state all space
maps that we allocate through the DMU use a global tunable
(space_map_blksz) which defauls to 4KB. This is ok for metaslab
space maps in terms of bandwirdth since they are scattered all
over the disk. But for other space maps this default is probably
not what we want. Examples are device removal's vdev_obsolete_sm
or vdev_chedkpoint_sm from this review. Both of these have a
1:1 relationship with each vdev and could benefit from a bigger
block size.
Porting notes:
* The part of dsl_scan_sync() which handles async destroys has
been moved into the new dsl_process_async_destroys() function.
* Remove "VERIFY(!(flags & FWRITE))" in "kernel.c" so zhack can write
to block device backed pools.
* ZTS:
* Fix get_txg() in zpool_sync_001_pos due to "checkpoint_txg".
* Don't use large dd block sizes on /dev/urandom under Linux in
checkpoint_capacity.
* Adopt Delphix-OS's setting of 4 (spa_asize_inflation =
SPA_DVAS_PER_BP + 1) for the checkpoint_capacity test to speed
its attempts to fill the pool
* Create the base and nested pools with sync=disabled to speed up
the "setup" phase.
* Clear labels in test pool between checkpoint tests to avoid
duplicate pool issues.
* The import_rewind_device_replaced test has been marked as "known
to fail" for the reasons listed in its DISCLAIMER.
* New module parameters:
zfs_spa_discard_memory_limit,
zfs_remove_max_bytes_pause (not documented - debugging only)
vdev_max_ms_count (formerly metaslabs_per_vdev)

There are some issues in the zdb -R decompression implementation.
The first is that ZLE can easily decompress non-ZLE streams. So we add
ZDB_NO_ZLE env to make zdb skip ZLE.
The second is the random bytes appended to pabd, pbuf2 stuff. This serve
no purpose at all, those bytes shouldn't be read during decompression
anyway. Instead, we randomize lbuf2, so that we can make sure
decompression fill exactly to lsize by bcmp lbuf and lbuf2.
The last one is the condition to detect fail is wrong.

For zdb -l, detect when the configuration nvlist in some label l (l>0)
is the same as a configuration already dumped. If so, do not dump it.
Make a similar check when dumping Uberblocks for zdb -lu. Check whether
a label already dumped contains an identical Uberblock. If so, do not
dump the Uberblock.
When dumping a configuration or Uberblock, state which labels it is
found in (0-3), for example: labels = 1 2 3
Detecting redundant uberblocks or configurations is accomplished by
calculating checksums of the uberblocks and the packed nvlists
containing the configuration.
If there is nothing unique to be dumped for a label (ie the
configuration and uberblocks have checksums matching those already
dumped) print nothing for that label.
With additional l's or u's, increase verbosity as follows:
-l Dump each unique configuration only once.
Indicate which labels it appears in.
-ll In addition, dump label space usage stats.
-lll Dump every configuration, unique or not.
-u Dump each unique, valid, uberblock only once.
Indicate which labels it appears in.
-uu In addition, state which slots are invalid.
-uuu Dump every uberblock, unique or not.
-uuuu Dump the uberblock blockpointer (used to be -uuu)
Make exit values conform to the manual page. Failing to unpack a
configuration nvlist is considered an error, as well as failing to open
or read from the device.
Add three tests, zdb_00{3,4,5}_pos to verify the above functionality.

The vdev_file.c implementation in this patch diverges significantly
from the upstream version. For consistenty with the vdev_disk.c
code the upstream version leverages the Illumos bio interfaces.
This makes sense for Illumos but not for ZoL for two reasons.
1) The vdev_disk.c code in ZoL has been rewritten to use the
Linux block device interfaces which differ significantly
from those in Illumos. Therefore, updating the vdev_file.c
to use the Illumos interfaces doesn't get you consistency
with vdev_disk.c.
2) Using the upstream patch as is would requiring implementing
compatibility code for those Solaris block device interfaces
in user and kernel space. That additional complexity could
lead to confusion and doesn't buy us anything.
For these reasons I've opted to simply move the existing vn_rdwr()
as is in to the taskq function. This has the advantage of being
low risk and easy to understand. Moving the vn_rdwr() function
in to its own taskq thread also neatly avoids the possibility of
a stack overflow.
Finally, because of the additional work which is being handled by
the free taskq the number of threads has been increased. The
thread count under Illumos defaults to 100 but was decreased to 2
in commit 08d08e due to contention. We increase it to 8 until
the contention can be address by porting Illumos #3581.

Detected by rpmlint the 'rpool/export/home' section was being
interpretted by troff as an undefined macro. This resulted
in the 'rpool/export/home' output being omitted from 'man zdb'.
This was caused by starting the line with a ' character. By
moving the 'in' down to the next line we're able to fix it.

The script has been updated to download the latest documentations
packages for Solaris and extract the needed ZFS man pages. These
will still need a little markup to handle changes between the
Solaris and Linux versions of ZFS. Howver, they should be pretty
minor I've tried hard to keep the interface the same.
In additional to the script update the zdb, zfs, and zpool man
pages have been added to the repo.
